I have sewed my finger before today so I know what you went through - I dripped blood onto a white silk piece though! I always use a 90 or 100 topstitch needle - they have a larger eye - and loosen the top tension. That makes a big difference. Sometimes though you just have to hold your tongue the right way!!

It's a nice juxtaposition of contrasts having the soft, fuzzy fabric layers against the solid, smooth twig. <br />I have an old simple Janome and use a heavy duty needle with metallic thread.
